Protons determine the atomic number of an element.
Recall the definition of atomic number.
If an atom has 10 protons and 12 neutrons, what is its mass number, and what element is it?
Remember to add protons and neutrons for mass number.
Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are both isotopes of carbon. If you needed to create a sample with a specific ratio of these isotopes, how would you calculate the necessary amounts?
